Finite-size effects in the rough phase of the 3d Ising model


Abstract in English

Using Monte Carlo simulations, finite-size effects of interfacial properties in the rough phase of the Ising on a cubic lattice with $Ltimes Ltimes R$ sites are studied. In particular, magnetization profiles perpendicular to the flat interface of size L$times$R are studied, with $L$ being considerably larger than $R$, in the (pre)critical temperature range. The resulting $R$-dependences are compared with predictions of the standard capillary-wave theory, in the Gaussian approximation, and with a field theory based on effective string actions, for $L$=$infty$.
